The Weight of Enlightenment

I am almost too ashamed
to admit that
it took me years to realise,
the warmest
glow comes from forgiving
and from giving ..
Still, they think they stand
on firmer and on
higher ground today than we
ever did and still do ..
Oh’ my word, how wrong are
each of those fools ..

I've never seen this before, the word forgiving as in for and giving. Well pointed out! Love it. Almost like effort and fortitude in my ways of thinking

"The ones on the higher ground" are, in my opinion, narcissists. The moral highground is a place where monsters hide. I hope you are well, Neville xx
